The ( "coond of llic niuulin In-Ill with this end in view was largely attended , anil was enthus iastic enough to portend that progress was being iiiadt' , and that the whole salers had blood in their eyes. The situa tion , as stated by a prominent jobber , is that Omaha , St. Joe , Atchison and Sioux ( Jity enjoy a special rate known as the Missouri river rate , while Lincoln pays six cents a hundred more than this rate for goods shipped to this point. On the oilier hand , it Is claimed by the jobbers that the rates out from Lincoln as com pared with Omaha rates out are not such as to even up the Chicago rate , but that in this Omaha hw ; n decided advantage In every instance where tlio haul la any considerable distance out in the stato. One shipper , who claimed to have made a study of the tariff sheets of Nebraska jates , recites that the rates from Omaha and Lincoln \Vymorc are one and the same , that the rates from the two cities to l > ed Cloud are identical , and that westward from lied Cloud , Omaha and St. Jou both have better rates than Lincoln. Therefore the wholesalers at the capital ak that the matter be equal ized by civing them the same rates from Chieujio and the cast. At the meeting held by the board of trade to consider these matters numerous opinions were expressed as to the best way to secure this rate. The building of the Missouri 1'acilic to the city is seized upon as tin available time to agitate the imestion and make demands hence the activity of the nreseul. 1. M. Raymond of Haynioiut Uros. . opened the discussion in the meet ing and was followed by C. 11. Gere of the railroad commission , who stated that the discrimination could piobubly IK ; corrected by an apneal to the railroad commissioners. JUitall through the balance of the meeting no such ap peal was made , the wholesalers recogniz ing , in common with other people , the absurdity of the commission regulating anything except to draw their salarv with due regularity. Messrs. Pace , Moore , Wat kins , and a generous number of lawyers ) took part in the. di.-.cu sion , hut the real interest in the meeting was revealed when Mr. Ilarloy proposed a combination of all business men fn town and a refusal on their part to ship a pound of freight over the Missouri 1'acilic unless it consents to grunt the old rates of 18SO , when Lincoln and Omaha were equal. This sentiment had the endorsement , evidently , of the meet ing but a milder set of resolutions , set ting forth that Lincoln shippers would be satistied with nothing bhort of river rates , were adopted , and 0. O. Whecdon , .1 M. Raymond , Eli Plummer , II. P. Lau , J. M. Hurks. J. 11 , Ilarloy , Albert Watkins - kins , H. E. Moore , Fred Smith and J. A. IJuckstaffwcre appointed a committee to take matters in charge with power to call extra meetings at will. riiKrAiiATioxs run run FAIR. Secretary Furiias , of the state board of agriculture , has arrived in Lincoln and opened his ollicc at the Capital hotel. Every detail is arranged for rapid work , and the coming ten days will bo busy ones for the secretary and his assistants in making entries for the great exposi tion. tion."The "The entries up to the present time are CO per cent in advance of the same time last year , " said Secretary Fnrnas , and he seemed to consider the prospects of the most flattering kind. There are but twenty-one of the cattle stallsleft untakeu iiow , ten days in advance of Ihe fair , ana the horse stalls are reduced to almost the same number. THU COUNTIES TO COMPETE for the county display thus far entered arc Polk , Hamilton , Logan , Jefferson , Chase , Keith , Uuudy Norton county , Kansas ; Weld countr. Colorado ; Douglas , Cheyenne .and the Cass county exhibit made by the Weep ing Water Fair association. I5o- fore the commencement of the fair there will probably be as many more counties that will enter the race , but the above are suflieienl to show the interest that is taken in county exhibits. Secre tary Furnas has made extra ellbrt to secure the far western counties lo make exhibits , and it is seen he bus met with good success in that lino. As ho cx- prcgfcs it , every one knows now thai eastern and central Nebraska will pro duce almost anything that grows , and his extra efforts to got the west of the state to the fair is to show what the des ert can produce. Jowett and Decatur counties , Kan. , are expected to be added to the list of Kansas counties exhibiting. TIIKV COMl'UMEXT Till : T1CKKTS. The complimentary tickets the present year issued by the state fair exceed anj-- thing ever produced in the line , and Sec retary Funui" is getting a good- sized scrap book made from com pliments passed upon the tickets by the press all over the country. The Pacilio Hiii al Press , the agricultural paper of the Pacific coast , calls the ticket the most gorgeous ever seen , and the editor of the Chicago Horsemen writes the secretary that the Nebraska fair compli- mimtaries exceed anything received at that otlice out of the list of 400 , while from the Southern Pacilio road the super intendent writes that ho has f rained nis , anil ( icorgo II. Nettlcton. manager of the Kansas City , Fort Scott & Gulf road says it is ahead of anything over issued in that lino. The secretary set out to pro duce a ticket tint would advertise the Etatti and ho has evidently succeeded. The railroads tracks into the fair trrounds are nearly completed , and it is the effort of the managers to have ovnrything so completely ready at the opening ot the fair that a boaru will not be out of place. A large number of Omaha horses , nnd exhibitors from that city hayo forwarded their entries for the btato fair. TOWN Tones. The case of the cigarmnkcrs against nno David II. Hymaii , a wholesale cigar dealer in the city , brief mention of which was made some tiuio since , took a phase of latu in the form of an injunction served upon I lyman restraining him from selling goods marked with union labels. The petition prays for a restraining order ngain&t the sale of goods labelled with tuo International cigarmakers' labels , but sl.so asks diumigcs for the injury caused Iho union by the UBO of the labels. The lime for hearing thu case is September 0. and the prospects are that a lively lejral contest will arise in the attempt on one hand to dissolve the injunction and on the othnr to collect damages.

( Maine's handsome income nowadays come * from the monthly dividends be receives from the Small Hopes silver mines. The stock was controlled here at one time. The way in which Ihe Chjrago man lost his property , and in which most parl of it got into the bunds of Mr. ISlaine and his friends can bo told in a few paragraph. * . Jn 1S77-7S Homer Penuoek , a tine look ing fellow with a splendid head for busi- ne.-s , owned the property nt ( iarlicld , and began to build works there for manufac turing a patent car wheel. His scheme involved the outlay of something like $1XKJ.OOO. ( He made a part payment on the big purchase , and .secured the balance by mortgage , giving besides as col lateral , a good deal of miuingstock. This stock was not taken seriously as security by the sellers of the land. Thu transac tion was a big one and their mortgage was big. They were ulad , however , to get the stork , not because they thought it worth anything , but because they were glad to get anything that a little in creased their prospect for getting tlu > balance duo them. Pennock did his bus iness through E. S. Dryer it Co. Itegu larly drafts came there from the mining country for their customer , were cashed by them and put to his eredil. They were big drafts for thousands of dollar- , and Pennofk told them that they were his dividends from his mine. One day about a year after ho came hero he walked into Dryer's office and told them there tiiat his mine was Hooded. This made the holders of that Garfield - field mortgage a little uneasy. It was about the lirst time they thought serious ly of their mining stoek collateral. Pen- noek who was imtutully buoyant , pot very depressed at this time. Finally he walked into the banking olliee and told one of the partners that he needed $120.000 to save what he had in the world. That he must cither buy or soil to his Colorado partners and that his option expired in three days. He oflered to make a con tract binding himself if the K'0,000 was raised and his indebtedness paid to surrender one-half the income of tiie mine. Charles llenrolin , whose following among moneyed men is the largest of any broker in the west , was applied to. He at once bestirred himself and had the funds ready. Ho then applied to Dryer to know whether it was a fact that Pen- nock's drafts had been for bonatidu divi dends from that Hooded mine. Dryer thought they were. Was he certa'in ? No , ho couldn't swear to that. ' They were to the best of his knowledge. The trade fell through. Those were thn days of " .salted" mines. There was a sale of the liarlield property. Penuock's option expired. He was altogether rained. His Colorado partners took the mine. They got James G. Blaine and Steve Elkins down east to go in with them. P. J. Sex ton , the contractor , and J. 11. Sullivan , the decorator , and George A. Wise here took nn interest. The mine was pumped dry and worked , in two year ? from the linre that Pennock tried to raise that ? 1-0.000 ' the mine paid $1,1)00,000 ) divi dends , and is to-day paying dividends of 0 lo 00 cents per month. It is said to have galleries running around ? 17,000- 000 worth of ore. The mine is the Small Hopes. Pennoek is down-oast now. Ho is still working away on that patent car- wheel of his. In 1877 1 Ionic Stuko No. 1 mine , now worth 3,000.000 , was offered lo Sid Kent and Old Hutch tor $10,000. They hud examined far enough into it to agree to take it. lint tlio two became involved in a corn deal. They said they didn't waul to take Iho lime lo look further into it. There were others waiting. The Chicago men stuck to their corn deal. The other follows got the Homo Stake No. 1. L. Z. Leiter paid only $20,000 forhisintcsest in the Iron Silver mine. Ho sold it for ? 1 , 000,000.

Chicago Stockman : This journal avoids political di eu 'ion . Our read ers are of all political parties.Vo have lately been aroused of leaning to the democratic side , and one reader , last winter , thought he M W evidence that the management was republican. The fact is we Uo not dabble in politic * . We have other liMi to fry. Hut when we see a candidate before the people who we he- live can be trusted ns the farmer's friend and as the opponent of monopoly , we are willing to say so. From what we have soon ancl known of Mr. Van Wyck for twt'.uty-Hvc years \vo think lie can be so trn > teil. By a new provision in the Nebraska state const ituti.on. the electors are to vote for United States senator at the election inline iJately preceding the expiration of the lerm of a senator. Senator Van Wyck announces- himself r.s a candidate and will appeal to the people. No other state has a similar provision for ascertaining the popular will in electing a United States senator. The legislature imi < l slill make the ultimate choice to conform to the United States constitution. An Vnauuonteil O'Neill Tribune : Van \Vyck's chal lenge ' till remain- open , anil it would be lee much to ask the machine to send a man out to meel him. The old man is .still monarch of the Held. Intcrestinsj Heading. Holt County People : The announce ment and challenge of Mr. C. 11. Van Wyckwill prove interesting reading. The challenge will hardly be accepted , as tot ) much light miirlit be thrown upon the policy of the opposition. Their strength lies in silence and the judicious Use of money. _ The Stalwart Night mare. York Democrat : The ami- Van Wyck republicans lliink il is a terrrible thing for him to asK llio people to express them selves at the ballot box who they want for United States senator. Those who oppose him are not used to such open warfare , and know very well that there is not a man in the latc that would have a ghosl of a show with Senator Van Wyck if thcFclcction was left with honest voters. Cunning and LTnscriipiiluiiK. York Times : Senator Van Wyck'-s ene mies are as cunning as they are un scrupulous , and whenever an opportunity offers will give him a s > tab in Ihe back. With deep laid plans and darK and im penetrable schemes , they will seek to create a false impression in regard to him wherever ho goes , and to counteract the ofl'ect of his very popular nnd eloquent suceehcs. lie is by all odds the most pop ular man in the state undgainingtrround all the time , and his enemies are becom ing desperate. A Pair Test lor All. Liberty Journal : In another column of this issue we publish a letter of General Charles II. Van Wyek on the matter of allowing the voters of the state to express their preference al Ihe polls for United States senator. A bill was passed by the legislature of 1875 making this a law , but the act iias never gone into effect. The General's letter is meeting with consider able distavor from Hie anti-Van Wvck organs , bul that is nothing more than could be expceted. There is nothing un fair in the proposition. The people gen erally have sense enough to know who they want to represent them , and there is no better way of obtaining the views of the people than this. We liupe the voters will take this matter up this fall and give it a good trial. It is as fair for one can didate as for another. Van Wyck to the People , O'Neill Tribune : The manifesto issued by Senator Van Wvck to the people of Nebraska , in which he asks them to ex press their preference for a senator to Micceed himself , has created consterna tion in the camp of the railroad sharks anil monopolistic corporations. This ballot will be taken on the amcndnu-nl inserted in Ihe state constitution in lb'73. a provision that at the general election immediately preceding tlio expiration of a term of United States senator from this stale Ihe electors shall , by ballot , express their preference for some person for the ollico of Unilcd States senator. No ac tion has been taken on this process up to the present time. llr. Van Wyck has shown that ho is not afraid to go before the people on the record ho has made in the senate. Alone among his party associates , he has been the aggressive ) fee of monopoly of all kinds , and has never ceased in Ills labors for the. farmers of Nulnaskn. Not alone has Mr. Van Wyck been untiring in looking afinrlus own slate bul every land grant forfeited in thu last four yeurs has been the result of his work. The course of the senator is wUo , and the friends of monopoly dare not go and meet him. _ "Tlin Public Do Damned. " Fairmont Signal : This was the remark made by a prominent railway magnate a few years since , and the result was a burst of indignation Hint echoed from Maine to Oregon. The same expression , differently worded , comes cdiloriullv in the Journal , Omaha Republican and sonic of the other satellites in answer to Van Wyck's suggestion that the people shall by their ballots designate their choice for United Stales senator. They declare that it is "nonsonsical" lo ask the voters of Ne- nraska whom they want for senator. That bclcetion is a prerogative of the leg- islntura nlonn and the people , or the choice of the people , have nothing to do with thu cuso. The constitution and statutes of Ne braska permit thevolers lo desigimlo on their bi.lloU whom they desire to repre sent them in the Unilcd Slates senate. lloremforu this law has been a dead let ter. _ Now Senator Van Wyck asks that the ritfrftiis of the Elate take advantagu of thc-ir legal privilege and assert their right.We . We , wit olhors of Van Wyck's friends , thai his course has been finch as to euutlti him to return to the senate. We believe that such is the de.slro of a larirt ! majority of tbo republican voters of Nebraska ; aud wo further believe that thu knowledge of this fact is the cause of the consternation in the machine ranks when they rucehetl Van Wyck's proposi tion. tion.So So etronj : js our belief m the Van Wyck sentiment in Fillmore county re- I puLluMiuii that wo are willing to pledge j ourselyed to-day to drop his candidaej and say nothtng'moreln hi * favor , if upon a full vote ho-dobs not lend any and all oUicr candi < l ( tos. Thai t'i ' : i | thy lair and hone t way of naminc A senator in whom all are inter- p ted , no OPP ran di-nv. That he 1 a political fraud uHio would deprive the people of this right , is equally evident.

Let Nebraska people decide who shall l c Nebraska's senator. The People Cnn tic Tru ted. Falls City Journal : The Omaha lie- publiciui cou idcr the constitutional and statutory provisions allowing the people to vote direct for United States senator "silly. ' * The voters of Nobaaska did not so regard it when they voted almosl unanimously to insert the provision in the state constitution , and the legislature recognized tlio wisdom of Ihe people by passing a law providing for this vote , i'rue , tlio vote would not be legally bind ing on tlio legislature , but no more U the action of national conventions binding upon presidential elector-- . The United States constitution contemplates the election of a Pre-idi-nt and vice president by the presidential Hectors , but by com mon consent the people have taken the matter practically out of their hands , and delegated it to themselves. The Nebraska constitution and laws pro vide for a popular vote whieh would be an in-truction to the legislature wlurh thai body would no more dare to disre gard than the presidential elector dares to defy the will of the people as expressed at thu polls. The people do not want Iho senatorship thimbU-riggcd with in the legislature any more than they want the presidency juairh'd with by the electors , i'ho Journal advocated including the call for the stile convention the nomination of a candidate for United States senator. This proposition was commented on b } scores of newspapers , and in every in stance favotablv , yet the state central committee totally disregarded this 1111- mist.xkuble public sentiment , as well as the law and the constitution , thus show ing 'that the politicians composing the committee ilil ( not want the matter decided by the people , but preferred to have it left for them to plav the shell game with in the legislature , while the voters aud tax payers look on in powerless and openmouthed - mouthed iuteiest. Senator Van \\yck is ritrht in the stand he has taken 0:1 this mie.-tinn , il he never was righl before. Republicans all over Iho state should take him at his word , and send dele gates to the state convention pledged to dispose of the senatorial question. Or. if so thought unfair to make a senatorial nomination this \\ithoiitnoliee hav ing been given in the call by the state contra ! committee , we hope thai Ihe con vention will vote to instruct the next slate central committee lo include Hie senatorship in thitlist of candidate lo be nominated by.the state convention. The republican party must respond to the wishes of the people in r-zard to this matter , as well as railroad regulation , and the submission of a prohibitory amendment , i , i Enterprise on the Farms- . Atlanta Constitution : As little as people ple think of it,4hc fartr. olfeis great room for a Display ot enterprise and thrift. In fact tile farmer needs to bo far more busirVcsa' like than the average business man of , the lowns. Take , for example.s Ihe aO'aJrs of an improved farm whore advanced < : i < ; riculturc is a reality. Heal business 4act is shown on every hand. There is some prejudieo against "advanced atrriculturc , " but let us see what that sort of farming really is. In Ihe first place advanced agriculture means small farms well managed , im proved machinery , close neighbors and more advantages every way. When a country is new , land plen tiful and population scattered , there is not so much fault to be found with the man who lives leisnrcly.lettingthe future take care of ilself , and even laking little though for the present. But when popu- lalion lias conic , railroads traverse the country , and markets are created for the products ot the farm , it is a careless man who lets opportunities slip through his lingers. A farmer should make every edge cut , and should strive to make his home increase in comforts and value every year. It is a bad policy that does not improve the land each season. Georgia is peculiarly blessed. Our cli- male is nol surpassed on the face of the earth , and our soilis susceptible of tin- highest culture. Thomas county land under high culture has produced 11 ! ) bushels of corn per acre , at a prolit of ? 77. In Ihe same county 11 ! ! has been cleared on an acre of cane. In Brooks county over 2,300 has been cleared in one year on a iwo-horso farm. A .single aero of Georgia land has produced four bales of cotton. 'ihe = e cases taken at random show wiiat Georgia soil can do. Very few states can show such varied and abundant propas are yearly pro duced by Ihe farmers of this slate. When they gel fully down ( o living al home , gel Ihoir big farms divided up , turn Ihcir attention lo making ono acre produce what two or three now j-ield , buy only what they cannel raise , and , above all , pay spot cash , their state will blossom as the rose , and the farmers will be the most independent people in the land. There is no over-estimating the value of so managing that a fuw hundred dollars lars will remain in the pockets when thu year's work is. wound up. It makes a man proud : ind it makes him twofold more industrious to end Iho year with silver jingling in his pocket. Make up your mind to try it. Autumn Seeded Grass. Farm , Field ami Stockman ; Whether to seed lo grass in spring or autumn tie- pcndson circumstances. On some lands when Iho weather Is favorable fall seed ing will scum lo ito the best. But often when the autumn months are dry the grass gets Mien a poor start that unless lint winter js favorable it makes but a poor showing , life following spring. Crickets and grasshoppers often do much damage to fall deeded land. In dry weather the young grass starts slow , anil makes but liitlo growth , and at such limes the insccfs arc usually very plenty , and on the barddrs of tne new seeded land they oftcn'ent ' the tender grass n > > fast as it grows up.tjl it is entirely des troyed. By H-ediotjin spring we would avoid these caiifOSf f failure. By seed- in sprinir with gram we save the plow ing aud harrowing of the land for ono crop , as two crop * are sown together. When grass seed i * sown in spring with grain on good , well prepared land , it is almost sure totart nnd grow well till the grain ripens and is harvested. We have noticed that when the gram was cut irrcen for fodder Ihe grass did much hotter than when it was Jolt lo ripen. Storing Potatoes. Gcrmanlown Telegraph : Every method has been tried by farmers to store and preserve their potatoes through the win ter , and we may say until potatoes come again. The poiato is the most valuable of all vegetables , though here and ihero we lind n person or a wriler who undertakes - takes to tell us of its unwholcsoniencss. It is universally consumed mall civilized countries , and where it cannot be grown it is imported , which can be done long distances without injury when ventilation is attended to. In storing potatoes ecy- ' cral methods are adopted , yet they are all practically the srtuie , the object being to protect them from freezing , whether buried in pits or stored In cellars. The lirst consideration is to keep them in per- ferl d rkne s. the next is the bins should not be too dopnol over three feet to produce wnrmth and cause then ; to sprout. When stortd in the Held , straighl trenches are dug , .iy twenty feet in length and four or live feet wide , which are filled to the depth of three feet with potatoes , then well covered with straw.on top of which put eighteen or twevtv inehe of earlh. In a pit twenty feet long tlii-re should be alxout three gas eseapr-i orveutilating openings , which should be Plugged with straw and covered with a loird < et at an angle to turn the rain. If in collars , barn or otherwise , the bine should be covered with rugs , old earpet- ing < or straw. Those intended to be kept for late spring sales -hould be fre quently examined and al' the sprout- re moved , for as soon ns a potato begins to sprout it losc < Us solidity , dryne.-s and quality. The > lo t Prolltnhlc Farm Horse. Mr. 11. P. StorricKor : There is such a diversityof opinion on the above subject , that "whal fills the bill" with one man may not suit his neighbor at all , bul there win be no doubt that a "well put up , " active horse , weighing from 1'Ot ) to 1,400 pounds , and standing al least six teen hand1 : | ii jh , is the horse most gen erally needed for the farmer's use. lie should be active enough to drive to town , as well as do the ordinary duties of the farm , and if for sale should command a good substantial priee for city purposes , ileu that are raising this class of horse are lindmgoiit it pays them well lo dose so , as there is always a steady demand for them whenever they are found for sale ; beside * being saleable from one to one and a half vears sooner than the or dinary horses , is an advantage not to be overlooked. How to raise this class of horse is a question on which many men slightly differ , but agree on the main points ; that they must be got by breeding the ordi nary mare ot the counlry to one of the imported breeds , either the French Draft. Clydesdale or English Shire. Some pre ferring one and some another of the breeds named , and while there is quite a difference m the appearance of the differ ent grades bred in this way , still in the main they fill the same place as really first-class farm horses or good active city teamsters. Another way to raise the kind of iiorse in question , and which , although not so generally well known , those who have tried , are finding the. most profitable , is to judiciously mate 1,2)0 ) pound mares , with some style and nuality , with a good Cleveland bay sire. By so doing breed ers will riot only bo repaid by raising a class of horses which will sell readily al remunerative prices for cily carriages , but will gel the very horse so many are aiminc at and so few attain , i. c. . a horse large aud heavy enouirh for any kind of farm work , and still active enough for Ihe road. From all the heavy draft breeds you can not avoid getting a certain amount of "loginess" ' or heaviness of disposition , but by breeding to a Cleveland Bay you will lind you avoid this objectionable feature anil gel horses of a much more cheerful disposition , full of courage and endurance , besides being stylish and good traveler. * . I have seen the hist named cross followed otil wilh llic most satisfactory results , and have no hesita tion in advising anyone who has not Iried it , to do so : i soon as they have the. opportunity and see whether tliey cannot do belter than their neighbors in raising veritably , "the most profitable farm ' horse. " Seasonable Hints anil Suggestions. A little milk and meal will keep Ihe calf going. A tablespoon fill of clear lime walor era a raw egg pul in Ihe milk at every feed will cure scours in calves. The fenlhers ot chickens may bo ulil- i/.ed. A full-grown hen will yield when dead and plucked from iwo to three ounces of feathers. An inferior animal will make an in ferior use ot the food it eats. A good animal will make a more profitable use of Ihe same or even a greater quantity of food. There is a strong favor growing for the white breeds ot poultry , as such fowls dress well for market , the pin-feathers not showing as clearly us on black-plum aged birds. Some of the besl cows are the results of crossing our natives with thorough bred bulls.anu this fad should encourage dairymen lo use only males of Iho im proved breeds. If Ihe bolls of wagons and farm imple ments are occasionally tightened during the dry season many breakages will be nvnide'd. The lools should ulwaj's bo carefully examined before using them. In triiuniinc trees always try to get one leader up straight , allowing Ihe branches lo grow from it , so us to avoid crotches , which sometimes split off from the iree when heavily loaded with fruit. All cliieks thai feather very rapidly when they are young are more dilliciill lo raise tfian are Ihose thai remain neanv naked until quite well advance in growth , as the rapid feathering weakens and de- bililalcs ihem. The farmer should aim lo grow evcry- Ihingfor his use that can be produced on Ihe larm. Many of them devote their at- tcnlion to stock and cereal crops , neg lecting Iho garden , from which should come many of their luxuries. For crosiiing on the common sheep , if good , choice mutlon is the object , no breed is superior to the Southdown. It is not only hardy but , like the merino , capable of foraging over largo surfaces and securing a large portion of its food. If tticro are cattle on the farm that must be sold to reduce slock lo llic level of fodder supplies it will bo well to give them the best pastures , and perhaps grain besides , until they are fat enough lo slaughter , for the surest market will bo for tne flesh. In nearly all cases where failures i > e- cur they may be traced lo inferior .seed. There M nolhint : so important on tlio farm as using only good seed. A few cents saved in using seed that cannot be relied upon often causes llic loss of many dollars. Sheep husbandry looks' more promising than in the past two or three years , but there are many farm ? where il is impos sible , because dogs abound in such a dc- greu lhal constant watchfulness will nol Keep their fangs oul of sheep al pasture. It is not so much what a bushel of corn may be worth on the farm as whal it may contribute lhal is important. When converted into butter it is more easily transported , anil also more readily salable. < ' : < the conversion of corn into nnv concentrated or high priced pro ducts , mannrial matter is left on the farm instead of being carried away as when the corn is sold in its grain form. The typo of sheen lo be most desired is ono that will bring the largest returns under the peculiar circumstances under which they are raised , and these will vary radically in the difforenl locations. Million sheep may jpay besl with one farmer and tlio merino with the other , bul whatever kind is Kept let the animals be thu beat of their particular breed.
